Maroon 5 @ March 5: won't go home without it

mood: very very pleased
song: Sweetest Goodbye - Maroon 5

my brain's all mush and i'm feeling groggy, but nothing beats last night's concert! it's a first for me, and i'm very satisfied and happy one of my biggest wishes was fulfilled this soon! MAROON 5 ROCKS!

dispatches from last night:
(i can't organize my thoughts, haha. save for a latter post!)
  • companions: S. (aka my mom, who's also a fan ha!) and A. we were already at the Araneta by 5pm! finally got inside around 6:20pm
  • the show started around 8:45pm (no front act), stunning us all. the place was suddenly packed (or i didn't notice them coming!)
  • the setlist was just as planned. there were 14 songs.
  • recap of songs: If I Never See your Face Again, Makes Me Wonder, Harder to Breathe, The Sun, Can't Stop, Secret, Shiver, Wake up Call, Sunday Morning, Won't Go Home Without You, This Love. encore: Little of Your Time, She Will Be Loved, Sweetest Goodbye
  • somehow i wished they also played Nothing Lasts Forever and Back At Your Door (Thailand had 16 songs!) but then i'm not exactly complaining. ;)
  • i wasn't expecting that they'd be good live, but they surpassed that expectation by a mile!
  • "If I Never See Your Face Again" is a great opener. "are you ready Manila?" wooooo!!! and Adam counting in accentless tagalog!
  • ergo, Adam Levine: *speechless.*
  • my favorite member James Valentine was the rock god of the night -- he was so awesome and hyper! he and adam was just rockin' hot!
  • Jesse (my other favorite) was really enjoying the whole thing. Mickey was banging, and Matt (who replaced Ryan) was super, he even had a solo before the encore!
  • the crowd vibe went up a notch as they sang "Sunday Morning" (9th track) and from then on. the band felt the love!
  • "Won't Go Home Without You" was the obvious highlight of the night. Adam fell silent and had a big smile while everyone was singing the chorus over and over.
  • i thought they'd be done with "She Will Be Loved", but then i guess the gods must've heard my plea and had my all-time favorite "Sweetest Goodbye" as the finale. i was so ecstatic. XD
  • lasted approximately 1 1/2 hour. quite short but i am dead happy.
  • for all the singing and screaming and bobbing and stomping and catcalling and on-high adrenaline mood i had last night, i acted surprisingly normal today. i even got to class early (even if i'm a zombie and all)
  • their concert was great timing for me. (it were held any day next week, i'll be damned!) again, the universe conspires with moi! hahaha.

    ... the concert's still looping in my head! what a night to remember. LOVE LOVE LOVE!<3

    **on edit: i guess this'll have to do for now. need internet withdrawal. save the fangirling after the finals! :p
